approach to writing and recording Life In Slow Motion. Of the
change, David says, "I don’t think you can remain the underdog forever

Though The Proclaimers have been having hits since 1987, when "Letter
from America" became an unlikely but welcome chart-topper, they have
recorded only sporadically. So while the time feels right for a Best
Of collection, this is mostly drawn from just four albums. In what

Here's what they say about Jeff Buckley: "He died too young". Here's why
they say it: Grace is simply one of the most amazing things you
can do with your ears and a little digitally-encoded disc. He inherited
the voice of his father, the legendary Tim Buckley--seven octaves, each

The second wave of Can reissues, freshly remastered by bassist/studio

Podmore repeats the trick pulled on the first batch, stripping away
background hiss and muddiness and leaving these epochal recordings
sounding impossibly fresh. |

Joni Mitchell would go on from this 1971 recording to make more popular,
more ambitious and more challenging albums, but she's never made a
better one. Working with minimal accompaniment (Stephen Stills and James
Taylor are two of the four sidemen), the Canadian songbird summoned an

Having nearly exhausted their capacity for pop-song politics on War

There's not a single dud in the trilogy of albums that singer/songwriter
Nick Drake released during his all-too-short career. And 1968's Five
Leaves Left--his first album--is certainly no exception. Drake's
sensitive guitar work and sensitive vocals are backed by the baroque

You could argue that Jagged Little Pill is the commercialised

What's left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The

the Italian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that's

One the contrary, I listened to a great album and I feel the musical
